I'm quite sure that this is *NOT* a bright idea and hope that they
don't do this.

If they really pursue that route, they will imho break their own neck
by eg. legitimizing claims and demands brought forward against the
Samba crew. I have a hard time imagining that this is what they really
want, at least "right now", but then, a lawyer might point out my
errors in understanding this...


Best,
